Microblog Memes

Isn't this basically what religion does, as well?

This is essentially cult tactics, yeah. As much as I loathe incels... Some of them genuinely need help.

The ones who are in too deep to literally start calling women "foids" tho? Throw them in the woodchipper. Dick first.

5'8" (1.73m) here. Married for 13 years.

It was an abusive exwife in my case, but yes. It's abuse all the same. It does the same thing.

It isolates, it breaks you down, it makes you forget who you were, and then when you least expect it, they are no longer dependable for anything and you have nothing left.

And they feel nothing.

Yup, that's why tate sold the worst dating advice in the world while being a sex trafficker, ensuring repeat business.

Study on men who are chronically single showed the common denominator: having extremely low confidence. Now that I think about it, this post corroborates the target profile of negging by abusers-- victims who have low self-esteem.

There are, for the lack of a better word, not so good looking men or short men having relationships, in one form or another, with ridiculously good looking women because these men have confidence without being too bragadacious. Of course, there are shallow women who go for looks alone (same as men), but there are just as many kind-hearted and less shallow women who prefer men with personality over looks and vice versa.

Low confidence and self-critical thoughts are what impedes chronically single men. Sometimes, it is indeed on the state of mind. And this vulnerability of lonely men is exploited by manosphere to create incels. I don't have a solution to address the problem but this is a general observation.

so many comments claiming this post blames or makes fun of men and incels that i went back and reread the whole thing... what the fuck are the lot of you even responding to‽ there's nothing like that in the post, and on the contrary it says men are victimized by this. Jesus, some of you are really willing to take anything as a slight. beats self reflection i guess.

this post brings up some good points, but I want to be clear that turning men into women hating incels who will die alone is the GOAL of all this rhetoric. it doesn't have to be that way.

if your reaction to this post is "women bad" you should take a step back and realize they've already gotten you to take the first step down the pipeline.

Podcast episode #120 (Invicil) from Reply All should be required listening in this day and age.

Invicil: How a shy, queer Canadian woman accidentally invented one of the internet’s most toxic male communities.

Manosphere being a toxic shitshow of harmful beliefs and self-sabotag is nothing new.

But in 1 way, it is very different to an abusive boyfriend. The abusive bf doesn't necessarily start off being abusive or not as obviously so. The bf adapts to you and slowly undermines your confidence. The manosphere has it in their advertising material. The people fall for the manosphere are not slowly manipulated and abused by the manosphere. The manosphere is the new abusive boyfriend after the breakup with the last abuser. When the abuse already has been normalised and kinda wanted because at least it is "familiar".

So what is the first "abusive boyfriend"?

be 5' 7"

not attractive to most women (aww)

every airplane seat feels like first class

live longer on average (aww)

workout once a week and look buff

no car is too small

sleep like a king in beds of any size

women generally trust you more easily cos your presence is non-threatening

You know it's not that bad of a trade. Y'all sixfooters have fun with the girls.

Kinda reminds me of boot camp, using psychological attacks to break down men's will and have him disregulated and complient

This is top tier gaslighting. I dont know why people bend over backwards to blame anyone but women for the 6ft meme. Manosphere reacted to a real thing and grifted off it growing it into political campaigning but is was real sentiment experienced by men. I'm not short and I see it happen all the time. Women are open about it.

Before the 6ft meme the redpill meme for guys was to laugh at tall guys and call them skeles until height became a desirable trait and it reversed with short dudes getting laughed at for being manlets.

It used to be niche and restricted to internet cesspits but YouTube and tiktok really brought the most toxic parts of the redpill, pua and lookism into the mainstream. It started ironic as a joke mocking lookism but kids got sucked in hard and lines blurred.

I'm still pissed these people have managed to infect so much of the male fitness community.

What is "manosphere"?

lol, quite literally blaming men for everything as usual.

"OMG these people are incel losers they have no worth and deserve to die!"

"Incel losers" commits a horrific crime because they were treated like they have no worth and deserve to die

"OMG can you believe it? We should bully them harder, that will fix things!"

Maybe the fucking problem is people treating these poor people so horribly. We want to PREVENT such things happening which means addressing the root of the problem and trying to catch people who could fall into those destructive manoaphere circles BEFORE they get the idea to commit mass murder. I'm PRETTY positive the solution isn't to bully them more.
